Time to start on a new project... With the white '89 Mustang nearly complete, I'd like to start a new project building on what I have learned with the '89.
Thus enters Project Turbo Zetec with the purchase of a 1998 Ford ZX2 2.0 Litre Zetec four cylinder engine for $1000. I plan on building the engine into a serious showcase of what madness I am capable of. The picture on the left is of the engine as it arrived, minus the protective wrapping. The picture to the right is after I got it mounted onto the engine stand.
It took my Dad and myself to maneuver the engine on to the stand, but I was able to pick it up and move it so I could work on getting the stand's snout mounted. Spec. weight is 255Lbs, but I will weigh it as soon as everything is mounted up and ready to put in the car, target weight is 275 Lbs. with the turbo.
FYI the aluminum cylinder head minus cams weighs 42.6 lbs. A 2.3 OHC iron head weighs more than 80 lbs...
